man logadm - this will rotate the log based on your requirements

i want to stop sending mail to syslog file

modify /etc/syslog.conf and restart/HUP syslogd

i changed it but how can i restart/HUP syslogd

pgrep syslogd
kill -HUP syslog_pid

ps -ef|grep syslog
Find the process id - do a kill -HUP on the process id

Example only:
# ps -ef|grep syslog
root 759 1 0 Jan 02 ? 0:01 /usr/sbin/syslogd
root 3344 1 0 Jan 07 ? 0:02 grep syslog
# kill -HUP 759

You might want to check any local zones /etc/syslog.conf also.
